Black and White Sydney

In all my travels, Sydney has been the toughest opponent when it comes to jet lag. It will lull you to sleep, then dump cold water on you at 2am. This time I played it differently. You can’t fall asleep if you don’t stop moving.

I landed in Sydney from LAX at 7am. I grabbed my camera and walked around a very quiet city, and for some reason, I chose to only shoot in black and white. I guess I wanted to see the city in a new way. There is something special about a city just waking up.

Sydney really is one of the great cities. So much beauty. Great atmosphere. Incredible weather. And perfect for exploring.

Of all the sights, I ended up becoming captivated with this shot. I love the simplicity, lines and shadows.

I managed to stay awake until 6pm…and actually made it through most of the night. Take that jet lag.

As always, thanks so much for reading.
